Do uber-blondes have more fun? Someone should ask Jennifer Aniston, who was seen sporting a bright, light new look this week.

The A-list actress traded her beachy blonde ‘do in for a flowing platinum blonde wig on the Greenwich, Conn. set of her latest film, an untitled project based on an Elmore Leonard novel.

The untitled film is a 1970’s crime story revolving around two criminals (Mos Def and Will Forte) who hit it off in prison, where they’re doing time for grand theft auto. When they get out of jail, they join forces to kidnap a jilted housewife, played by Aniston, whose husband doesn’t want her back and won’t pay the ransom.
